The video features several current and former elected officials and community leaders, including Senator Christine Tartaglione, former mayoral candidate Sam Katz, and Councilmembers Sharon Vaughn and Jim Harrity.
“Milton was the truest form of activist and advocate,” Tartaglione said in the video tribute. “He fought to better the lives of everyone around him and the city as a whole. We as a city, a state, and a society are better off for having him and worse off now that he’s gone.”
